Tenda AV1000 WiFi Powerline Adapter Kit with Gigabit Ports, Powerline Extender with AC650 Dual Band WiFi, Plug and Play, for HD/3D/4K Video Streaming and Gaming (PH10)

I already had the non Wifi version of this hooked to my power lines for Ethernet.I just wanted a simple way to extend the regular Wifi into another area of the house. This worked perfectly. The only thing that takes a bit of time is changing the default SSID and password to a custom one.

I bought this unit yesterday. This is the easiest electrical device I've ever put used. It literally took me all of 5 minutes to do it. I've now been rewarded with FAST internet speeds throughout the house and the pleasure of owning an electrical device that has lived up to every promise. With this device you only need ONE wifi name and password - that automatically comes from your wifi router - no computer app setup at all - just connect a wire and push a couple of buttons and plug the 2nd module where the wifi signal is the worst and you're done. Afterwards as you travel through your house, you'll not have to switch your various devices to the extender wifi network, AND, if you have a remote desktop, the second module can be plugged in next to you computer and you can run an ethernet cable from the module to your computer. It's EASY!I wish that I had bought one of these units YEARS ago. No more buffering while watching movies or YouTube. It's almost as easy as plugging your telephone into a wall jack.This is an AAAAA+++++ product!

So had some initial setup issues, and wifi strength where this is placed is not always great, but overall better than before it was installed.It also would not work on the two most convenient outlets in my office, it had to be plugged into the wall my book shelf is on, so can't use the cat5 jack.

This is a good unit for this type of technology. While this is a gigabit device and the transmission light was green, the best speed I achieved was 50 Mbps. See, while "logically" the home electrical wiring is a "single network" each floor may have different circuits and the signal has to travel throughout as many circuit breakers which severely affect speed. In my case, I have a large home so this type of extention technology does not work well for me. Now, it may work well for your conditions. My target area in my house suffers from poor wifi signals despite having installed a Mesh network....wifi strenght varies by its own nature, so any wired solution is better in maintaining a constant connection, and the Tenda unit did this well, but speed suffered. I got technical support and the explanation was as described, not good enough for my application.

Fairly easy to set up. Newer house so good, modern electrical wiring. Could only get the powerline to communicate if both devices were on the same electrical circuit. As soon as I moved either device to another circuit, very poor signal and incredibly slow speeds. Tried multiple circuits but the best I could do was extremely slow communication. Most circuits had no communication at all. Virtually worthless. Extremely disappointing.

Excellent item. No issues. Thank you!

We had two spots where we wanted wifi, but where an older (pre-AV2 standard) powerline adapter I bought a few years ago would not connect. One was our porch, and here the Tenda AV1000 kit worked well. (It even worked on a 6ft extension cord but the speed dropped sharply.) The other spot is our detached garage, in order to get wifi to our cars' head units. This device would not pair there, even after I bypassed the GFCI. However, the power line is ~100ft of old buried cable, and who knows how well shielded it is, so I can't really blame Tenda.One thing to note is that the power pins are positioned close to one edge, such that the other outlet in a pair of wall power outlets remains available. Many TP-Link and other models will wholly or partially cover the second outlet.The internal web page of the Tenda is almost identical to similar pages for TPLink devices, so possibly these devices are all made by the same people in China. One can connect to this configuration web page easily, without the contortions required by some other manufacturers.

The Tenda AV1000 Wi-Fi extender was easy to install and provides a much wider range of signal than I expected. I was a bit concerned that as I had learned prior to my purchase, the internal wiring between my wall outlets and my breaker box might not allow the Tenda to work as designed. Knowing Amazon's return policy, I decided it was worth trying. Bottom line: I am delighted with how well the Tenda works and would not hesitate to recommend it.
